1994 Honda Prelude VTEC 2.2 from North America
Summary:
Very reliable, and very, very fun. ;)
Faults:
Front sway bar links replaced at 120,000.
The headlights kept shutting off; turned out my lighting relay was just loose.
Replaced camshaft end cap at 135,000.
Rear defrost is not working, hope to fix it soon.
A/C not working since I bought the car; hope to fix that soon too. ;)
Probably should replace the timing belt/water pump.
Rust on rear quarter panels, not really the car's fault, I blame Iowa winters.
General Comments:
I bought this car my senior year of high school, and have had it for almost six years now. It's a dark blue color, and she's beautiful.
I don't abuse the Prelude at all, so at this rate it should last me for another 100,000 miles.
Fuel economy is only about 24 city / 27 highway, but it's more than enough for the power you get.
I love taking this car out on the open highway curvy roads; I could go for miles and miles.
The only thing I dislike about my Prelude is the rust on her; if it wasn't for that, this car would be the best in my opinion, and honestly I don't think I'll ever spend the money to get it fixed, I'll just put that money into proper maintenance, and make her run forever. ;)
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

A 'mid engined' Honda Prelude? I thought the engines in these were in the front.
